Hi, this is Meg Barnette, Brad's wife. While escorting a defendant out of immigration court at 26 Federal Plaza, Brad was taken by masked agents and detained by ICE. This is still developing, and our team is monitoring the situation closely.

People are being asked to go to Federal Plaza to protest. @nypan1.bsky.social

Reps. @meng.house.gov, @tomsuozzi.bsky.social, and @ritchietorres.bsky.social represent parts of NYC. Reps. Craig and Krishnamoorthi are running for US Senate.

As Democrats slowly mount a resistance against Trump’s second administration, there is no worse person to elevate than a shameless self-promoter with an inflated sense of his political gifts and accomplishments. newrepublic.com/article/1949...

Tonight we're proud to premiere two new ads that will run together across broadcast and cable TV—including during Game 3. Go Knicks.

Are you ready to win a city we can afford?

A new activist group on LI that cares about Palestinian rights. I’m grateful for them.

(D) Senator Chris Murphy's warning on Meet the Press: "[...] if we continue to engage in business as usual, this democracy could be gone. I don't think we have a year to save American democracy. I think the way the president is acting [...] puts our democracy at immediate risk."

This is where we’re sending the vulnerable.

A federal court’s jurisdiction does *not* stop at the water’s edge. The question is whether the *defendants* are subject to the court order, not *where* the conduct being challenged takes place. Were it otherwise, the government could act lawlessly overseas and courts would be powerless to stop it.

This interview is appalling. Schumer should not be senate Minority Leader.

Naomi Shihab Nye: The Words Under the Words My grandmother’s days are made of bread, a round pat-pat and the slow baking. She waits by the oven watching a strange car circle the streets. Maybe it holds her son, lost to America.

Trump admin moves to deport a legal immigrant on a valid visa. Judge orders them not to. Trump does it anyway. So what’s the remedy here? www.providencejournal.com/story/news/l...

Holy crap. The DOJ is arguing that the President can unilaterally deport anyone he wants without ANY statutory authority, just on his inherent authority as President over national security. That is a terrifying claim to make and not one that has ever been recognized before in US history.

We shouldn't have been surprised. Look what they did a month ago.

BREAKING: Trump Invokes 1798 Wartime Law that Paved the Way for Japanese Internment. The repugnant law, known as the Alien Enemies Act, will allow Trump to detain and deport noncitizens without due process, writes Zeteo’s new legal contributor @kimwehle.bsky.social, professor of constitutional law:

ICE stripped a German green card holder naked, drove him from Boston to Vermont to Rhode Island, put him in a cold shower, deprived him of medication, sleep and food until he collapsed. No one knows why he was detained.

This was not a close vote. 91% of group leaders voted for national to make this all. 7% said probably, but they needed more time. 2% opposed. We are a locally led movement. When local leaders speak, we listen. We encouage Demorats to rally around someone who can lead the opposition forward.

I 100 💯 agree!

Don't stop talking about Palestine. Israel continues to break the cease fire and commit crimes against humanity.

DOGE/SSA marked this person dead and *removed his savings from his bank account,* cancelled his social security and Medicare. #seattle https://www.seattletimes.com/seattle-news/politics/heres-a-dead-person-on-social-security-in-seattle-with-plenty-to-say/

#MahmoudKhalil, a legal permanent resident, is being held without charge at an Immigration and Customs Enforcement (ICE) detention center & threatened with deportation for protesting the Genocide of Palestinians at Columbia University: theintercept.com/2025/03/10/m... #Israel #palestine #usa #news

ICYMI: In February, we reported that some members of the Columbia Alumni for Israel Whatsapp group leapt at the chance to get young people they claim are “supporters of Hamas” detained and deported.

They all want to do this AND run the agencies like their own fiefs AND don't want to be accountable for it. But since they regularly refuse to operate within reality they are always caught short when they find out that's not possible.

False charges of antisemitism in the U.S. healthcare community are spreading anti-Palestinian racism and doing irreparable harm to our work and obligation as healers. mondoweiss.net/2025/03/the-... #Palestine #Israel

The removal of Columbia’s funding was actually potentially temporary: they have 30 days to appease the administration. Thus the incentive to rapidly implement fascistic policies. Very clear this is a roadmap for other universities.

NEWS: Last night, the Department of Homeland Security detained a Palestinian who helped lead the Columbia encampment. Agents told him his visa was revoked. He said he had a green card. They were confused—then said that was revoked too. His attorney demanded a warrant. Agents hung up instead.

On Saturday, 300+ volunteers collected another 4,472 ballot signatures for our campaign in 13 neighborhoods across the city. I think we might beat those numbers today.

I look forward to reading with this fine group of poets in DC in April to celebrate Palestinian poetry. In you’re in the DC area, please join us. And share! @zeeshanpathan.bsky.social

We mustn’t have hope, apparently. I see. .

Featured story: “The evidence linking James Rodden to the online accounts in question is strong, with significant biographical consistencies spanning over a decade. … The depth of the investigation leaves little room for doubt.”

Bernie had people raise a hand and say what stresses them out the most. He then repeats and validates what they say. I've never seen a politician so down to earth with people like Bernie.

Being anti-Trump isn’t enough to turn the tide. We have to make our case by passing universal programs, in states Dems control, that radically address working-class issues. www.cityandstateny.com/opinion/2025...

Let's see if I got this right. SpacePirateSnarky says that Musk broke the air traffic control system by firing the engineers, so now the flying public will be the test subjects for his untested and unreliable Starlink system. www.reddit.com/r/EnoughMusk...

I understand the disgust with the Democratic Party, but it’s worth changing your registration to Democrat to vote for this amazing candidate. The deadline is very close. @joesackman.bsky.social

Thanks God for Bernie Sanders @sanders.senate.gov!
